According to writer David Icke, 5 to
12-foot (1.5 - 3.7 m) tall, blood-drinking, shape-shifting reptilian humanoids from the
Alpha Draconis star system are the
force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at
humanity. He claims that the reptilians maintain their control
through the generation of fear and negative emotion, which is food
to these entities, by manufacturing conflicts, primarily wars. He
contends that most of the world's leaders are in fact related to
these reptilians. Icke's theories now have supporters in 47
countries and he frequently gives lectures to crowds of 2,500 or
more.
